(2) Slight nerf of Austrian Roundshires.

Version 1.9 c

(1) Initial food gather rate doubled.

Net result of above is same gather rate after the upgrade.
This is to reduce negative effects of forgetting first mill upgrade early on.

They are still worth the cost and still do make a real difference.
Note: Muskets benefit from and need their final barracks defence upgrades if facing pikes or other cold steel.
